In simple terms – without an SBEM Calculation you cannot begin the construction project!

SBEM Calculations (Simplified Building Energy Model) are a requirement of the Building Regulations Part L2 and must be submitted to building control at two stages in the development process:
• Design stage – Prior to commencement of the development project, an SBEM Calculation must be submitted to your local building control, alongside your application
• As-built stage – Upon completion of the building phase, it is required that both an SBEM Calculation and an EPC are submitted prior to sign-off by building control.

Our Assessors normally begin the process during discussions with developers, architects and designers – often playing a key role in helping our clients to reduce long-term energy costs – because of their skills and expertise of being able to recommend optimum levels of insulation and assessing the benefits of more efficient building services.

In helping our customers through the SBEM process we will be happy to undertake on-site visits, carry out measured surveys and execute the required level of Air Leakage Testing, Smoke Testing and Thermography prior to preparation of the final SBEM Reports and their subsequent filing on the Landmark database.
